As Delray Beach considers a proposal for a new historic district downtown, the city continues to lose potentially historic properties alo

David Cook, owner of Hand’s in downtown Delray Beach, plans to close the store and retire in June. Cook, 58, sold the property after his family had owned the business since 1964. It first opened in 1934 as a bookstore. Tim Stepien/The Coastal Star
